Saigon Kick?


Recommended Posts

Anyone remember these guys? The solo on "One Step Closer" from their "Water" album is pretty slick.

Love them, opened for them. Jason was quite the melodic shredder and a fantastic songwriter.

I once saw a free, Monday-night show @I-Beam on Haight back in their day featuring Saigon Kick and openers,

Mekong Delta.

I s**t you not!

this thread is so funny...I added a couple of their songs to my mp3 player recently and just happened to

have some down time on the job yesterday and guess what I was playing? I saw them open for King's X in NYC ..... really decent band!

Never heard them. Just always thought that they were lazy when they picked their name. It must come from the classic Hanoi Rocks album "Bangkok shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks". (Hanoi Rocks are still bad ass.)

Nope, it came from the tube being on in someones house at about the time of one of the anniversaries of the fall of Saigon. Dude commented to other dude, "why's everyone on this Saigon kick?", and bingo.

A sampling:

All I Want

What You Say

I liked 'em even more when they ditched the singer and Jason (guitarist) took over frontman duties.

I saw them open up for Extreme too. They did a really cool cover of Bowie's Space Oddity!

...and I opened for them at that show :P
